Erev Yom Kippur 5751

 

ותשובה ותפילה וצדקה

 

This coming Shabbat Shabbaton we will be standing in front of מלך מלכי המלכים pleading קרע רוע גזר דינינו. There are many ways we can change our personal situations, each and every one of us knows how. However, we are a Kehilla who also understands that we have a communal responsibility, to make sure that all of us help those who are less fortunate: people who are dealing with the constant worry of how to pay their bills in order to stay in their own homes and to put enough food on their tables so that their children will not feel the desperation of their situation.

 

We know the financial pressures of the chagim, but we are asking you to help us make sure that all our families in the Kehilla will be taken care of.

 

We therefore have decided for this coming Chag Sukkot to request from our members to help us.

Those of you who are going shopping and are willing to help to donate and buy extra food items then please email Rachel Berinson at rachel-david@berinson.net, 054 2516636( preferable email)

This is not another one of those requests for a tin of tuna or mushrooms, we want to make sure that the families will eat proper meals over chag.

 

We cannot stress enough the importance of this. The food baskets that some of our more needy members will receive from other charities is not enough for chag.

 

Anyone who can contribute financially, our Keren is struggling since one of our major donors who has given over $10,000 to us in the past will not be contributing this year.

 

Thank you in advance for all your support. May this year be a year of giving and not of having to receive.

 

Donations to the Keren are eligible for tax deductible receipts.

 

Gmar Chatima Tova,

 

Rav Menachem, Gidon Weisz, Tzvi Sperber
